Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Season 2 of the sci-fi drama American Gods is to premiere on STARZ on March 10.

Production on the second season recently wrapped in Toronto.

Based on Neil Gaiman's novel, the hour-long show is about a war brewing due to "the traditional gods of mythological roots from around the world steadily losing believers to an upstart pantheon of gods reflecting society's modern love of money, technology, media, celebrity and drugs," a press release said.
